XYplorer Beta Club
I have installed Windows 7 (64b) on a new SolidStateDrive C:\. I also have a datadrive, E:\. I relocated my document and download folder to E:\.
Now I have no visibility under User of documents or downloads in XYPlorer. The My Documents junction still points to the old C:\Users\....\Documents folder that now no longer exists. Windows explorer, however, does correctly show now relocated documents and download folders.
Is there a way to repair/edit the junctions that XYplorer sees under the current user?
Can you create a new junction in XYplorer?

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once.

How did you relocate documents and downloads to E:\?

I used windows properties to relocate documents and downloads. i.e. "properties->location(tab)->enter "e:\user\documents"->Move.

Sounds weird. First thought: Reboot Windows.

Re: Can you create a new junction in XYplorer?
If you mean restart windows, I've done that. If there is no way to "edit" junctions either in Windows or XYplorer then I'll have to try the following:
1. I've been doing all my re-installs from an admin account. I will soon create a standard user account for my daily usage. Hopefully, XYplorer will have a fresh, nice presentation when I do that. I will still have to redirect the document & download folder in that new account to the E:\user\documents and E:\user\downloads. If it behaves the same as before, the respective user document and download folders will disappear from XYplorer presentation leaving only the junction misdirected junction. If however, it behaves correctly, I will be satisfied.
2. I can always put some shortcuts in the catalog pane and work it from there. And....try to ignore the faulty user presentation.
3. Maybe I should uninstall, then reinstall XYplorer. Is there anything I can watch for to make sure it is a totally, completely clean uninstall? e.g. registry entries to delete? leftover files somewhere that don't get deleted on uninstall?

Not necessary, there are no registry entries. XY is totally portable and stealth.Tanker IP wrote:3. Maybe I should uninstall, then reinstall XYplorer.
